Manufacturing variations inherent in the electronic components that make up your circuits can greatly affect their function and performance. These manufacturing variations are generally expressed as tolerances on key specifications of the components and it is not usually possible or practical to manually test a circuit to the complete range of tolerances of all the components.

Doing special things with a circuit pattern is a hallmark of analog design. All of the important signals on the board added together are equal in importance to one net; that net is the ground net.

If power bus ringing is ruining signal integrity, then you need to reduce your power bus impedance as much as possible.

The cavity resonator offers superior frequency filtering capabilities for precise frequency design applications.

The use of differential output voltages is an essential aspect of noise immunity designs.

The Q point of a diode is critical to overall circuit functionality and performance.

Infrared LEDs are quite tolerant of the variations in applied power, but their voltage drops must be considered when designing your PCBs.

Here we’ll present a nonideal linear transformer model for use in your circuit simulations.

The right clearance and tolerance for your solder mask defined footprints is important so you don't run into any assembly issues.

Component tolerance modeling is an invaluable design insight tool that reduces cost as well as build times. All the while improving overall circuit design.

The dynamic load line analysis provides the optimal operating point calculations that help to optimize circuit design.

Frequency response simulation is a vital design tool that offers greater insight into the frequency design and manufacturing process for PCBs.

SPICE simulation works to make circuits more efficient and hit target goals.

Via current limitations should be carefully determined using a via current simulation. Here’s how a SPICE-based simulation and a PDNA tool can help.

Making circuits online will enable you to bring IoT devices to production faster and with less stress. The internet of things is approachable from all levels of PCB design.

The physics of failure is an invaluable analysis tool for perfecting designs and improving upon them.

Conducting an FMEA risk assessment of the components used on your PCB design will help to assure quality and availability before you begin circuit simulation.

The use of simulation software affords you the ability to create a virtual exact replication of components and circuit designs without actual expenditures being incurred.

FMEA lean manufacturing provides invaluable design insight and reduces cost as well as build times. It also reduces cost, failures and increases production.

Vias and their current carrying capacity affects the overall PCB functionality and design.

A capacitance multiplier should be an important part of your power conditioning strategy. Here’s what you need to know about a capacitance multiplier.
